Women and Sport Seminar Resolutions
27 November 2004
Prestige Auditorium
Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa

We the Women and Sport who were present at the second Women and Sport Seminar on 27 November 2004 at TUT hereby resolve to prioritize the following four resolutions,
That:

1. We will identify top female sport women who will then identify at least 3 girls for mentorship and report back their progress in the next seminar on 27-28 August 2005. They need to come along with their mentees to report back next year during the seminar
2. To improve communication and networking with female sport women and all other stakeholders
3. There is a need for a Women and Sport structure in South Africa which will advocate for women and sport issues
4. There is a need to monitor sport policies that are in existence to ensure that they are gender sensitive. It was further resolved that there is a need to formulate new policies in order to protect and encourage women’s participation in sport and recreation.

Other areas that need to addressed are:

1. To draft a long term plan for empowerment of women
2. Draft a media guideline
3. Compile a sport toolkit to assist in empowerment of up and coming sport women
4. Need to document women and sport history and its achievement and challenges.
5. To ensure that all resolutions taken last year should still be implemented

Southern African countries that were present during the seminar will also implement these resolutions.
